Fingerprints Go Digital
1278 NOTICES OF THE AMS VOLUME 42, NUMBER 11 T he new mathematical field of wavelet transforms has achieved a major success, specifically, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s decision to adopt a wavelet-based image coding algorithm as the national standard for digitized fingerprint records [11, 4, 3]. The FBI standard, which uses an approach known as wavelet transform/scalar quantization (WSQ...
متن کاملDNA polymerases in biotechnology
Accurate duplication of parental DNA is a fundamental biological process, conserved in function across all life forms. All organisms depend on DNA polymerases for genome replication and maintenance. DNA polymerases also play central roles in modern molecular biology and biotechnology, enabling techniques including DNA cloning, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing, single nucleoti...
متن کاملEngineered DNA polymerases in biotechnology.
DNA polymerases are the enzymes that catalyse all DNA synthesis in Nature often with astounding speed and accuracy. Consequently, their features as molecular machines are exploited in a wide range of biotechnological applications. Some features are highlighted in the following. For example, DNA polymerases are useful enzymes to detect genomic alterations that can lead to the development of cert...

متن کاملPrediction of consanguinity using human DNA fingerprints.
DNA fingerprinting was performed to verify the pedigree structure of a family under investigation for an unusual case of beta thalassaemia. A higher than expected proportion of hypervariable bands was shared by the proband and his mother, leading to suspicion that the child had been the product of a consanguineous mating. Further analysis of the mother's brother showed that he was almost certai...
